My neighborhood grocery store has started providing sanitizing wipes for wiping down the shopping cart handles and sanitizing gel for ones hands. These are mounted conveniently next to the shopping carts. I have read that shopping cart handles are filthier than toilet bowls.. Most of the checkers in the store now wear latex gloves.
It would be nice if banks would provide something to sanitize ones hands with after conducting transactions at the atm machines or at the teller window.
With all the ominous predictions of impending epidemics, providing the public with something to use for sanitizing at high germ transfer points like shopping cart handles, atm machines, tellers and anywhere else substantial money transfers take place would be a public service.

Money is filthy, doesn't mean Morgellons but you can pick up other things from it. The cashiers handle your food items when they scan and bag it, and handle the money. They handle the bags your items are placed in. Whatever is on the money is on the items you bring home.

That's a fact.
I wash all jars with antibacterial dish soap and paper towel dry them before I put the pickles or mayo or whatever into my fridge. I rewrap all meats. I want my fridge to be as "germ free" as possible...so that I'm very conscious of. I know I can't get it all...but I try.

The image below looks like some of the images that sufferers post: waynesword.palomar.edu/traug99.htmMicroscopic view of the torn edge of coarse blotter paper showing tangled meshwork of fibers. [Magnified Approximately 100X.] Fair use Excerpts: In order to produce pulp, logs and wood chips must be reduced to a mass of fibers. If gymnosperm wood is used, then the pulpy mass is composed essentially of tracheids. Several methods are used to convert wood into pulp, including the ground wood process, sulfite process and the sulfate process. In the sulfite process the chips are cooked in a digester with bisulfites. Hot acid is then pumped into the digester, and the cooking is completed. The softened fibers are then forcibly blown into a chamber to separate them. Paper made from this process has a high acid content and becomes brittle and begins to disintegrate after 100 years. This is why modern textbooks (including the recommended text for this course) often say "printed on acid-free paper." The sulfate process is an alkaline rather than an acid process and uses as digestive agents sodium sulfate, sodium sulfide, and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide). This process is now the most widely used because unlike the sulfite process, the "acid free" paper has greater longevity. The sulfate process also dissolves the resins out of the pulp and can therefore be used for gymnosperm woods such as Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and various pines, including (Pinus ponderosa). After digestion, the tenuously bound fibers are beaten to separate them. In addition to chemically digesting the wood until it is reduced to its component fibers, the lignin must also be removed in fine quality papers. Cardboard containers and supermarket shopping bags (kraft paper) are stiff and brown because they still contain lignin. Wood pulp is also used for the manufacture of insulating board and fiberboard, such as masonite. Special types of paper, such as photographic paper, are coated so they will be suitable for various printing techniques. Rag paper contains fibers from cotton and linen. It does not become brittle and can withstand repeated folding and creasing. U.S. money is printed on rag paper with scattered colored fibers of silk or nylon to discourage counterfeiting.
